  • Publication number: 20220202320
    Abstract: User interfaces for glucose insight presentation are leveraged. A glucose monitoring application is configured to process glucose measurements to determine one or more glucose insights, e.g., about a user's glucose. The glucose measurements, for example, may be obtained from a glucose monitoring device that collects glucose measurements of the user at predetermined intervals, e.g., every five minutes. The glucose monitoring application configures a user interface, based on configuration data, to present one or more visual elements representative of the one or more glucose insights. For example, the glucose monitoring application may configure the user interface to include a visual element in the form of a color field which represents whether the user's current glucose measurement (e.g., the most recent glucose measurement obtained from the glucose monitoring device) is below, within, or above a glucose range.

  • Publication number: 20220202319
    Abstract: Meal and activity logging with a glucose monitoring interface is described. A glucose monitoring application is configured to display a user interface that includes a glucose graph that plots glucose measurements of a user over time. The glucose measurements, for example, may be obtained from a glucose monitoring device that collects glucose measurements of the user at predetermined intervals, e.g., every five minutes. Unlike conventional event logging approaches, the glucose monitoring application displays representations of logged events in the user interface along with the glucose graph. The logged events, for example, may include meals consumed by the user, and/or various activities performed by the user, such as exercise, meditation, sleep, and so forth. Notably, the glucose monitoring application controls the display of the event representations to be presented at positions on the glucose graph that correspond to times associated with the respective events.

  • Publication number: 20220203038
    Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating a continuous glucose sensor, including a receiver, a medicament delivery device, and optionally a single point glucose monitor are provided. Manual integrations provide for a physical association between the devices wherein a user (for example, patient or doctor) manually selects the amount, type, and/or time of delivery. Semi-automated integration of the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components aids the user (for example, patient or doctor) in selecting, inputting, calculating, or validating the amount, type, or time of medicament delivery of glucose values, for example, by transmitting data to another component and thereby reducing the amount of user input required. Automated integration between the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components provides for full control of the system without required user interaction.
